11/20/11

added some extra art under the banner logo. should revise it soon. i hope it helps people with the "general" understanding on the point of how to play the game.

print it out!

yay!

did you see the pun i put in the first paragraph? general? get it? it was the empirical pun of the day!

oh.

i did it again.


11/19/11

new decks to be released


the two next decks will be:

classical greece
   hercules, theseus, pericles, etc...

persia
   xerxes, cyrus, etc...

and two more i haven't made up my mind about yet. maybe hittite,  maurya or phonecian (including carthage)

i do know, however, that the decks i will build after that will be:

the mesopotamians. yay!

including babylon, assyria, summeria (and akkadia) as well as the hebrews.

most people don't throw the hebrews in that mix but i always like to have an empire that changes it up a bit. it was either the hebrews or phyrgia.

kievian-rus empire added to future deck build plan. but i have to get way into the future for that to happen.

so far i am still BCE. i think the youngest dude in any of the decks would be julius caeser or spartacus from the roman republic.

i have a LOT planned for the future.

for example: medjay, choctaw, texas, kingdom of antioch, mali, carib, seljuq, franks, timurid, maya, and the ottomans. hehe. this is just a shotgun smattering. i have planned around 120 decks so far.

but I NEED ART!

please visit the artist area in the forums to let us know about your cool art that you would like to have put on the cards, so that EVERYONE can play with them... with YOUR name as the artist!

i can only pay you in fame, bragging rights and ultra-rare cards at the moment, but what are you waiting for!?!?

ok that's it for now! have a great weekend!

worked several hours on the video projects. you will enjoy them as i have placed my own music under the game. good stuff and pretty well recieved by the preview audience (me and my cat).

the videos should clear up any misunderstandings that you might have in gameplay.

also...

fixed top links on 4 empires top so you don't have to use browser nav buttons.

working on an incentive programme: post an ad for empires and generals in your facebook and i will email you a unique card... details coming soon about that.

also... thinking of the "philosophy" cards that i had made previously and never released with the family edition. instead of a "strategy" card, you can use a "philosophy" card to do an asundied number of things.

the next project i will be working on is adding our first artist to the mix. francis hilow has drawn a great number of soldier and general cards for us, for trade. his style is quite unique and i will be looking for a LOT of variety in the art...

...on that same note, i will be releasing blank cards for you to doodle in...

...as well as the full color decks.

all this and MORE

coming soon to an empire near you.

have a great monday!
